FILLING UP RAPIDLY.

How many people realize the rapldity
with which the territory of Dakota is
filling up? 1t is within the memory of
people yet young when Dakota con-
tanned but few white settlers; when, in
fact, it was supposed to be a barren
plain fit only for buffalo and Indians.
It's thriving towns and prosperous cities
have grown up almost in the night, and
the hard-headed and hard-handed farm
erS have penetrated to the territory 5
fartheSt limits. OF the 96,000,000 acres
of land held by the government, but one
fourth remain open to settlement, and
these are being taken, not by specula-
tors and railroads but by honest settlers,
at the rate of 100000 acres year.
But few years more and Uncle Sam
will not have single acre remaining
within his gift i'll Dakota. and in all
probability the tide of immigration will
push on into the fertile valleys of Mon
tana, the way into which has been
opened. This rapid filling up has an
especial significance to st. Paul. 1t is
Intimately connected with her CONNER
cial prosperity. 1t means that thou
sands and tens of thousands of addi-
tional people must have their wants
supplied, and must have them supplied,
in large measure, too, from st. Paul.
1t furnishes an explanation of the in
creasing business activity which has
prevailed and is prevailing in this city,
and it carries with it the assurance that
for the business growth of this city
there is to be no slackening, but con-
tinued progress III harmonious keeping
with Dakota's astonishing develop

''The DOnagh' is JOE MURPHY'S
greatest success. The announcement of
its initial production in this city drew
the largest audience of the engagement,
and for that matter one of the largest
audiences of the season, to the Grand
last night. The performance gave un-
bounded satisfaction, and Mr.. MURPHY
had a call before the curtain at the close
of each act.
THE DOnagh" is pretty story of
Irish life in modern days, in which the
tyranny of the landlord and the hard
ships of the tenant are wildly pOr-
trayed. The play has we'll constructed
plot and the climaXeS are worked up
with peculiar skill. Mr.. MURPHY is
perfectly at home in the char
acter of Lanty Killaly, the
true, honest, faithful Irish lad.
Miss TEUToN as Rose Coonan and Miss
PERRY as Kate Mcbride have parts adj
mirably suited TO their abilities and
gave highly satisfactory interpretations
of their respective characters. The rest
of the cast were fully up to standard
work.
The spectacular part of the perform
ance is one of the best features of it.
The panoramic view of the Lakes of
Killarney is one of the most picturesque
stage scenes ever seen here, consisting
of authentic repl eSentations from nature
of scenes of romantic and historical in
terest. The picture of the Lakes of
Killarney" is itself worth the price of
admission.
"The DOnagh" will be played at the
matinee this afternoon and tonight.

BLAINE AND CLEVELAND.

The readiness with which Mr.. BLAINE
jerkedOff his coat and joined issue with
Mr.. CLEVELAND on the question of
tariff reform simplifieS the political out
look for next year. 1t is virtual align
ment of the opposing forces for battle
in the contest of 1888. Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS candidacy for reelection has
been conceded long ago. The uncer-
tainties of the Republican nomination all
depended on Mr.. BLAINE's willingness
or unwillingness to accept a renomina-
ton. There is now no longer any doubt
on that score. The promptneSS with
which he picked up the CLEVELAND
gauntlet leaves no further room for
speculation. The opposing candidates
will be BLAINE and CLEVELAND, and
the tariff will be the one issue. The
only work that the conventions will
have to do will be to formally ratify
that which circumstances have already
pre-arranged.
1t is probably fortunate that these
preliminary matters have been settled
so long in advance of the usual time for
arranging them. 1t gives the people
that much longer time to study and re-
fleet upon a question of more mo
mentOuS national concern than any
question that has been brought directly
before them in the last quarter of cen
fury. 1t is the first time in the last
twenty-five years that the parties
have divided on a real live issue
an issue, too, the settlement
of which involves the permanent
prosperity of the country. 1t is
a well defined issue, for Mr.. CLEVE-
LANDS clear exposition OF his tariff
views and Mr.. BLAINE's equally clear
reioinder clear the whole matter OF am
biguitieS and leave no room for false
interpretations. The mass of the peO-
pie will not be at loss to understand
the meaning of the ideas represented by
the candidates. of BLAINE and CLEVE-
LAND respectively.
One gratifying feature of the situation
is that the next canvass Will be an I'M
personal one. The dirt mill was eX
hausted ia the last contest, and there is
no fresh material to start 1t again.
Next years battle will be one of ideas.
1t will be struggle between principles
for supremacy.
Next years political contest is not
going to be any ehild'S play either. 1t
it true that Mr.. CLEVELAND will enter
the contest with the sympathies of the
masses in his support. But it must also
be remembered that Mr.. BLAINE goes
into the fight with all the wealth and
power and influence of the mOnopOlies
at his back. They are playing for big
stakes. and if they lose this time they
lose forever. They have the advantage
of superb organization backed by un-
limited wealth. They are in the last
ditch. and will make a desperate strug-
gle to recover lost ground. Such, in
brief, is an outline of the situation for
1888.

FRENCH ART In FICTION.
An Artistic Instinct Never Before
So Widely Diffused.


MacmilIan's Magazine.
An artistic instinct has probably
never been so wisely diffused through
out a literary class as it has been
through the ranks of the modern writer's
of fiction in France; never has the aver
age novelist attained so high level of
pictorial power and linguistic skill.
Higher qualities than these have indeed
heeu ascribed by some critics to the
chiefs of French romance, but others
than EngliShman have doubted whether
the French have as yet produced any
writer to be matched with Walter Scott,
Thackeray or Dickens. Balzac is never
quite such an artist as Thackeray:
Dumas is Walter Scott-with a differ
ence; and Hugo, though he may be in
his own way Incompatible. is divinity
with feet of uncOncealed clay. But
we are not now speaking of the highest
names. 1t is when we come to the sec
Ond fight. the general choir" of fiction.
that the merit of the French writer's
manifeStS itself so clearly. A certain
chOiceneSS of expression. an air of dis
tinctiOn, controlled art, literary
finish belong not only to Daudet and
Sandeau, CherbulieZ and Flaubert,
Feuillet and Murger, together with
many others of the same literary class.
but extend downward through host of
writers who have yet, perhaps. to make
their mark, but who appear to conceive
by some admirable instinct the just con-
ditions and limits of literary workman
ship.

THE SLEIGH BELLS.

The chief of police is right in instruct
ing his men to rigidly observe the ordi-
nance which requires them to arrest the
drivers of BELLIES Sleighs. The matter
may seem a trivial one, but considered
in its relation to possible accidents, 1t
becomes of considerable Importance.
Last winter several persons sustained
serious injuries by being run down by
Sleighs which gave no warning of their
approach.
The only way to avert danger this
winter is to arrest without distinction
the drivers of those vehicles which are
not provided with the proper means
of giving notice of their COM
ing. After one or two convic-
tions, and as soon as the public thor
oughly recognizes that the law is to be
enforced, it will be just as it was with
the notwithstanding Ordinance-cause
for complaint will cease.
Chief CLARK and his men should do
their duty wit ont fear or favor. Foot
passengers h; We some rights which care
less drivers should be made to respect.

The Bayispe EARTHQUAKE.

NoGALEs, Ariz., Dec. "a gentle
man, writing from the scene of the re-
cent earthquakes at Bavispe, says the
entire town has been destroyed and
many persons killed. The earthquakes
have been of daily occurrence, except
during intervals of two weeks, during
which time the people built temporary
shantieS of refuge on the hill. Since
the cessation some adobe houses have
been erected. but they were destroyed.
The people are wild with terror, and are
starving. The provisions and supplies
provided by the state and from private
sources are exhausted, and the entire
vicinity is destitute of provisions and
clothing. and unless aid is furnished
soon they may starye. The streams,
opened by the first great shocks, are
still flowing, but the continued shocks
and terror of the people prevent the
utilization of this abundance of water

RObinSon's Trial.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 9.-ln the trial of
James Robinson, at Ravenna to-day,
strong testimony against the prisoner
was introduced by the state. Carl
Grimm, a Cleveland SalOonkeeper,
swore that Robinson was in his place
the night of the robbery of Benedict &
Ruedy's store. Two of Benedict IL
Rnedy's clerks testified that Robinson
was i'll the store the day be-
fore the burglary. Baggagemas-
ter Kinney, of the Cleveland d
Pittsburg railroad, identified the pris-
oner as one of the men who went with
the stolen furs to Pittsburg. A. K.
Todd, brakeman Oh the PittSburg,
Fort Wayne q Chicago road, positively
declared that Robinson rode on his train
from Pittsburg to Alliance on the night
of the tragedy. and Conductor Ohliger.
of the Cleveland & Pittsburg road, was
pretty certain that Robinson was pas
senger on his train from Alliance to
Rayenna. Rev. Carl Weiss, a passenger
on the train, positively identified the
prisoner as one of the men who assisted
in the rescue of McMunn.

UNmTST SUSPICIONS.

The New York Times is not partieu-
iarly we'll pleased with Mr.. Villas pro-
motion to the interior department. 1t
intimates that there is "a niger in the
woodpile7 somewhere, and that Mr..
CLEVELAND's administration will suffer
in consequence of the recent cabinet
changes. The main objection the great
MugWump organ urges against Mr..
Villas promotion to the head of the in
terror department is that ''Mr. Villas
and former associates have had valuable
lumber interests in Wisconsin on what
were once government lands, and that
he was formerly connected profession
ally with corporations concerned in land
grants" 1t also recalls the fact that
MIR. Villas brother was in some way
connected with the redwood timber
lands in California; and, by putting all
these things together. the Times feels
Justified in prOpOunding the question,
''WaS the resignation of Mr.. SPARKS in
fact preliminary to Mr.. Villas consent
to become LAMAR'S successor" On
the strength of its suspicious that these
cabinet changes mean a change in the
land policy Of the CLEVELAND admins
tratiOn, the Times serves notice on Sec
Cetary Villas that it intends to keep an
eye Oh him. That is all right. 1t is the
right of every American citizen to keep
an eye on their public servants, and it is
a right every one of us should exercise.
And we risk the statement that close
watching will not cmbarrasS Mr.. Villas.
He is a man who carries his heart on
his sleeve, to be read of all men. He Is
part of the CLEVELAND adminiStrd-
ton, and that high sense of honor
which has characterized every move
ment of his life will prompt him in fidel
ity to his chief. Mr.. CLEVELAND has
said it as emphatically as a man could
say anything that there would be no
change in the land policy that he in
augurated in the beginning of
his administration. The Times ought
to know Mr.. CLEVELAND well enough
by this time to know that he is a man of
his word, who says what he means and
means what he says. Individual in
tereStS have no weight with him in de-
lOlIhlLlHS QuCStIollo duCClillS liIC pun
lie welfare. No one member of the
cabinet, nor all of them put together,
could swerve the president from the
line of duty. More than this, Mr.. Villas
himself is man of the CLEVELAND
type. He would not permit his own
interests to be considered in connection
with an official duty. The Times sus-
PIGEONS are wholly unfounded and un-
warranted. but for its own qualification
we urge our New York contemporary to
keep a close eye on the new secretary
of the interior. We are doing the same
thing. If he does not prove as efficient
and as honest in the administration of
his new department as he was in the old,
then we have never been more mistaken
in man.

A Private Matter.
lical and Surgical Reporter.

Medical ana Surgical Reporter
A circular has recently been issued
by Pinkerton's National Detective
agency, asking each physician who re-
ceives copy to give information to the
agency i'll case a suspicious person
should come to him for treatment of
gunshot wound OF the jaw. 1t seems
that on the morning OF Friday, Sept. so.
1887, burglars entered the residence of
the cashier of the Farmers bank, of
Newcastle, Del, where the bank is also
located, and attempted to oyerpower
the cashier and his family. A fight en-
sued. and the cashier shot and wounded
one of the burglars. The ball is sup
posed to have entered She mouth of one
of the burglars, SCATTERING the jawbone
and carrying away with it portion of
the bOne-a piece of which has been
found in the blood which came from
the wound, and experts pronounce it
part of the jawbone.
The detective agency wishes the CO.
operation of medical men i'll securing
the apprehension of ten criminal, and
we hope they may have it.
As a rule, physicians should religious
" guard the secrets of their patients,
and especially when to reveal them
would expose the patients to shame or
punishment. But this rule cannot be
strained so as to apply to the case of
murderous fugatiye from justice. A
man who breaks into the house of a
keeper of other peoples moneys, and
makes an attempt upon his life in order
to complete a felony, is an outlaw. and
whatever pity any man Or any physi-
clan might feel toward him should be
counteracted by the pity he feels for
every law-abiding citizen. When the
consequences of his crime bring dan
gerouS criminal to the notice of medi-
cal man, we hold it to be duty that the
latter should disclose the fact to the
proper authorities, and hold back from
any false notions in regard to profess
sional condolences.
